4:04 pm
really no place that is safe any more in ukraine these days. words that were also echoed by the mayor of this city on how that, how significant are these strikes when you consider that live with was seen as something of a safe haven of source. it is quite significant when you leave is so west for is, is nearly a da border with poland is far away from the you know, from where there is the front lines i would say. and it is the place where we have seen at the onset of the war, hundreds of thousands of ukrainians coming through here to seek shelter, to cross into poland, to become refugees that still continues. if you go to trade station, you will see on a daily basis, thousands of people transiting through here. it's also significant because it has become a sort of
4:05 pm
a logistical hub supply hub for all kinds of humanitarian aid coming into the country. but also military aid. it coming into the country and just last week. do you as had a, had a good greenlighted, another $800000000.00 in military aid for ukraine. we also know that last week about a military pack that arrived here in ukraine, about 202000. i would say anti missile thinkers, anti aircraft fingers, router and some also anti tank javelin. so it's certainly a very important logistical hub at the moment. is also the place where all the embassies retreated to from here. most of them still remain working out of living. so it is certainly a very strong message from russia. some people are speculating that this may be
4:06 pm
happening. russia may be hitting or does ukrainian cities after it's flagship, there must go, was sunk in the black sea ukraine saying it hated bo, with its missiles, russia denying that that happened. but there is certainly and a feeling among people, not only here reeves, but in other cities around the country that at the moment as the russians are preparing for this all out offensive in the east of the country. well, ukrainian cities are going to be hit more and more and this is certainly causing panic among people. and as we said, levine was the safe haven, the relative, the place where people would come on a scaping of trying to big to get it to pieces of their lives. well, probably most of the displays who were here today are shocked about what happened. the 1st time you have a dead in live eve, 7 of them. people are completely shocked and probably worried about what could
4:07 pm
happen here in the coming days or weeks bit especially that they would probably compare what happened in their city today. that what to what has been unfolding in other cities around the country and hoping that that won't be the case. ok, harder after i'm at live from the beef. thank you. are russian president vladimir putin has told an economic meeting that western sanctions are back firing. he says moscow is withstanding what he described as america and europe's economic blitzkrieg vulnerability training. we will discuss which extra decisions to take in order to maintain russian business and the circumstances of the sanction pressure from our on friendly partners. they tried to disturb relies to financial and economic situation in russia and cause a banking crisis. we can certainly say that this policy is failing. the strategy of economic good scrape has failed. sanctions are hitting the initiators very hard.
4:08 pm
they have inflation, loss of jobs, living standards are going down the u. s. and europe, russia with stance that unprecedented pressure. although such a bari is in moscow live for us now and also what else has vladimir putin been saying? well, the russian president dare remaining and steadfast and adamant that his country can withstand the toughest of sanctions and dead. of course, the russians have now a scene over $4000.00 a different kinds of sanctions imposed on them since the russian president announced the start of the so called special military operation in ukraine, which began on february 24th. russia is now the world's most sanctioned country. and as a result of that, for many weeks, there was a lot of economic instability in this country. and the russian president from the
4:09 pm
start of that announcement was very careful. he instructed the head of the country central bank, as well as other officials within his government to really make the country's economy and its future. and number one priority, given the pressure they were going to be under from the international community. today vladimir putin was saying that the retail demands have now returned to normal standards. meaning that to add there, you start of this operation. there was a lot of panic in russia in various different areas of the country. there was panic buying. there was also people panicking about their savings in their banks, so they were trying to take out cash. there was a lot of restrictions placed on ordinary russians to try and control the drop of the revolt they currency. and we did see the rubel at one point lose over 50 percent of its value. but since march the country has now tra, manage to regain the strength of a currency. the rubel is now
4:10 pm
a holding steady up what it was prior to the special operation. the russian president, highlighting the fact that despite the sanctions, the country is still functioning. and it's really an indication that the sanctions, the western countries of impose, are harming those countries more than russia. we have to remember, russia is the world's largest exporter of gas. and as the prices have really swords since at the sanctions have come into place as a result of this special operation in ukraine, the president highlighting that fact and saying that the western countries have relieved themselves to plain blame. one of the main issues has been a, the country's foreign cash reserves, which has now been placed under sanctions that are outside the country. at prior to this operation, russia had over $600000000000.00 in cash reserves. and about 40 percent of that is now frozen as a result of sanctions. so at the president have instructed at the country to carry
4:11 pm
out an initiative demanding that's a countries that are called are unfriendly countries. and would have to pay for the gas that they're buying from russia in the local currency in roubles. and a number of countries have already said they will not do so, including germany, saying that they have contracts with russia as stating in those contracts that they are going to be paid in u. s. currency. so there is a lot of different issues at the moment that the president is dealing with, but it peers his at tactics and in his instructions about how to tackle them have worked so far. okay, dosage of our in moscow for us. thank you. and as we mentioned, ukrainian soldiers have ignore the russian deadline to lay down arms in maria pal, victoria gaten breed has more. merrier poll is a city almost completely destroyed and from where thousands of civilians have been unable to escape. the last major battle is happening here at
4:12 pm
a giant soviet built factory in an industrial district near remaining. so the occurring in the army and large group of civilians are basically, ah, encircled by the russian forces. they continue their struggle. but it seems from the way russian army behaves in mario vote, they decided to raise the seats to the ground. at any cost bodies lying on the streets in the besieged port, city, ukrainian forces ignored a russian ultimatum to surrender by one p. m. local time on sunday, he cranes prime minister says its forces will fight to the end. the outcome will likely affect talks to resolve the wool. the api civilizations are rolling, go in the opposite direction out, rush captures, marable because landscape, made it very clear that of russia carries at another massacre in marietta. paul was comparable to what was on boucher on the remaining forces. then they'll be basically a dead stop vertigo. she, asians,
4:13 pm
the grading prime minister said that there's really been no. ready dialogue between ukraine, russia over the vasta, 48 hours. russia's onslaught continues elsewhere in the east. this is the aftermath of yet another russia missile strike in hockey. eve is mainly russian speaking city. ukraine. second largest has suffered some of the was shelling since russia's invasion, more than 7 weeks of the paramedics treat, the injured. but the danger isn't over yet. ah, what he crane says. russia has stepped up its attacks in the region as its forces prepared for a new offensive in the east. the president zalinski says he remains steadfast in his determination not to concede any territory. victoria gay to be al jazeera
4:14 pm
open to more heads on the news hour, including china's economy grew faster than expected in the 1st quarter. this also at risk of a shock slow down in the next few months. we look at the reasons why several palestinians injure them even more arrested, was really police continue their raids occupied westbank on a lost gas winter for real madrid. it brings the spanish titles closer. jemma ah and shine curt new ministers had been sworn in 2 weeks. soft been, ty, cabinet resigned to com, anti government protests. summit new and younger faces hunting, drafted in to a smaller council of ministers, a prime minister. my hinder roger pack sir. hunt is a brother. preston to go to bio hazard accident remain in power. should i increase
4:15 pm
struggling with its worst economic crisis since independence? is there too severe power fuel and food shortages? no fernandez has more from columbus, the president as much as he's trying to bring in a sort of a new wave with new faces and sort of relatively junior members of parliament. or he is going to face some pushback, a sort of initial sort of reaction and so far a seem not to really be accepting of this. and just to give you an idea, i mean the president houses down the road to the right, just maybe 200 meters away. this is as far as where being allowed to go up. but when that's wearing and happened, it's happening under fairly tight security and a report that even some members of the cabinet that came in for the swearing and use different entrance roads. because obviously the protesters are a few 100 meters down the other way. and they don't want to be seen coming in all done under a lot of security. but also
4:16 pm
a few disturbing elements that we're hearing. prime minister my in the roger box are real. all handed politics is not reported to be very happy with that sort of choice of the new cabinet. i did speak to a source in his office who told me, ah, that the cabinet is going ahead with the president choices. but the prime minister is kind of largely out of the whole process. so it remains to be seen how they'll take up our things in the coming days and coming weeks. but the protesters are digging in above any set on 2nd, i should say, is from the a center for policy alternatives in columbus. she doesn't believe the changes will be enough to satisfy protested. defer is always mean if she we need a change of government. we need to change from the president and the prime minister that did not happen today. so i don't see much change on the ground for history is ongoing effort here. and this is in the country over in unprecedented economic crises, so really spied some changes in facing abbey. now,
4:17 pm
when you to see it being taken to address the economy crises and heating the cause of the cause of the protest. her so really not much is change other than some appointments to cabinet. people have been haitian and this is something we need to take note of them. people have been huge and a couple of years now, and they have a crummy so much more when this government was elected by the protests had been there for several weeks now. and the professor being very clear, go home, roger cox's over, not the right access. that has yet to happen, so i don't see how changing some ministerial or to really address the cause of the people. and this is meaning come to the st easily produced in the last few weeks. and the not me my best not really being addressed by any of these changes. china's
4:18 pm
economy has exceeded expectations by growing by 4.8 percent. the 1st quarter of this year. the world's 2nd largest economy is under enormous strength, the war in ukraine under new corona varsity reyco creating challenges. katrina, you reports from vision. china's economy beat most expert forecasts and expanded by 4.8 percent in the 1st 3 months of 2022 strong manufacturing activity and a boost in infrastructure. spending early in the year drove much of that growth. but major challenges threatened the outlook of the world's 2nd largest economy. sure g to the global situation has been complex on the fluid domestic way. coven 19 continues to have impact. that's why some major indicators was low down and there's a pressure i can army performance. other china is battling it's worse current of ours outbreak since the beginning of the pandemic and tens of millions of people nationwide have been confined to their homes,
4:19 pm
look down and per is much across major industrial and commercial hubs. including shanghai and sion, gen have crippled supply chains and assembly lines. analysts say the damage caused by chance will be further felt in future economic data. but retail spending has already contracted by 3.5 percent. unemployment has also risen. foreign business leaders say badging 0 tolerance approach to corporate 19 is harming both the domestic and global economy. the western and japan, korea, all the big economies have strong interest. the china changes to one because it said percent of all goods and china manufacture could have some sort of china in there. so of china actually sneezer, you know, the world catches a cold. we need child to succeed. we need china to open up in order to actually maintain also good the global economy at a certain speech speech and a global economy needs china now to succeed because we have a war in ukraine which as a rebel on effect. and this is like
4:20 pm
a perfect storm coming altogether. unfortunately, rising inflation and a cash crunch in the property sector are also dragging on growth. the government has set a g d p target of around 5.5 percent this year. it's the lowest in decades, but many believe this figure will be tough to achieve without the rolling out of more aggressive stimulus measures. still, china's leaders insist on maintaining the most heavy handed pandemic measures in the world. the cities of she ad, pseudo and john jo have joined shanghai in imposing restrictions following local outbreaks over the weekend. katrina, you out 0, beijing? well, dan wang is the chief economist at hang sang bank china. she says people are concerned about whether the upturn can be sustained. the number has to be, the market is like taisha and by a very wide margin. so people do have fear that this may not be sustainable. and
4:21 pm
when you look at the breakdown of the data, it's quite obvious, there are some structural issues on the growth was bolstered by infrastructure, spending, manufacturing lessons and export by to the weak spots is consumption. it actually turn negative growth in march and in many peoples as fact in the coming month. and the weakness in the consumer market was sustain closing the 2nd quarter. my slow down quite significantly on not so much from the ukraine war because the commodity price has somewhat stabilized. although still out of their high level by the corporate control, especially the repetitive pattern of the city locked down, has been the biggest challenge. when my look at a period of time, a 2nd for a few dozen of chinese cities could implement their last measure simultaneously, which can be a big damage to transportation and production,
4:22 pm
consumption and international shipping. and that could be very big, 3 deaths links to complications from a covey 19 have been reported in showing high authorities have been ramping up the efforts to fight the pandemic with inflatable lands up to 100000 samples. a day of being tested, the city announced a 14 day lockdown on friday. the number of palestinians had been injured during dawn raids carried out by israeli forces and occupied west bank. doesn't people have been arrested in villages nature and in matter? local palestinian n g o could say they were detained on charges of resisting the occupation and taken to investigation the. the abraham has more now from a hospital engine in the occupied. westbank were here in front of the intensive care unit of one of the hospice in janine to palestinians who were wounded by is really forced to fire on monday. are revising here. families say that the doctor
4:23 pm
has told them that one of the injured is suffering and is in a critical condition of those who are still getting treatment in this hospital is a 17 year old. hernandez, daughters family was telling us that she was in a bus, minding her business when she was hit by a bullet from it's really forces damage been to her, the sabbath hannibal or the harbor. when she woke up and realized what happened. she was shocked. why? who did this to me? i was on my way to class. why did this happen to me? she still traumatized this hospital alone in jeannine $55.00 palestinians were treated since the beginning of this month, which gives you an idea about the intensity of the situation here in jeanine. 2 of the attackers were killed. 8 is res. belonged to this area. but people here say that their life under these really occupation has been marred with
4:24 pm
a lot of read. a lot of is really violations. but that their eyes are now turned on them or tension is high in the alex or mosque compound and occupied east jerusalem . as jewish worshippers at gather at the western wall to mark the pass over holiday, hottest in israeli rom, party has suspended its membership of israel's coalition government because of violence that the site 20 palestinians were injured while being forcibly dispersed on sunday. i foresaw has more from occupied east jerusalem. there were thousands of jewish worshippers at the western world during the course of the morning for a very important prayer when that happens twice a year during jewish festivals. and at the same time, of course was much is wanting to get into the alex and most compound. and there were about a 100 who stayed within the mosque itself. overnight. other worship, as were allowed. and but any one under 30 years, ready forces were preventing,
4:25 pm
getting in or these people of that sort of agent who these ready security forces deemed could be potentially someone who might be coming into the must compound with confrontation on their minds. and at the same time, the usual sorts of jewish visits to what in judaism is known as the temple mount. usually these people from the really right religious nationalists, often settlers. and according to the walks, these amik authority that controls the most compound. they say about 560 people came in on those terms. the israeli medias reporting a sally high number, nearly 800. and so that is a relatively low number for passover. but of course that happens during ramadan. it happens during a time of increased violence and tension in the run up to the holy month as well. and these images of people being prevented from getting in to the compound itself that could despite the relative calm this morning,
4:26 pm
that could prevent further response going forward. iran is warning israel, it will face military action if it makes any move against the country. iranian president says israel as being watched closely, it would be targeted by the armed forces in response to any aggression made the speech ahead of a military parade to mark iran army de tab. okay, well, as did any, do you even you slightest move is not hidden from the eyes of our intelligence, security and armed forces. beware that if the tiniest move is made for you against the iranian nation, the target for our armed forces will certainly be the center of the scientist regime. that it, the turkish military has launched across the border offensive against a kurdish armed group in northern iraq. camps belong to the p. k. k were hit by artillery ahead of ground operation. anchor says the armed group uses its basis in northern iraq for a tax on turkey. the military campaign comes just days after meeting between
4:27 pm
president ed one and the prime minister of the kurdish regional government residence in northern iraq are concerned for their safety because of the turkish areas. they capture the movement of attacks just a few kilometers from the ton of shit. i'm st. paul need to the houses are shaking and people are terrified and tired of the situation. they are always threat on people in this area. this is very annoying as a pitch mega, i can handle the sound of bombs, but it is difficult for a 10 year old child to handle the bombardment and the sound. the number of people who died from flooding in south africa is rising. at least $443.00 have now dies and thousands on missing is asked as cause nearly $700000000.00 worth of damage of the heaviest rains in 60 years of me, the miller joins us live, not from hundreds books. just how devastating has these floods been
4:28 pm
been extremely devastating for the people impacted by the floods, mud slides and land slides that took place earlier last week because of that. those torrential downpours which have been described, bio socrates and put natal is catastrophic. people in that area receive 2 months worth of rain in just 48 hours and were actually taken by surprise. and that's also why a number of people weren't moved from vulnerable areas and to highlighting areas and were exposed to the impact of the flooding. the provincial government has said that 40000 people were affected, that at least 13000 households. 60 feet, people are still missing and we're seeing that climb in the number of people who've been found dead. that's resulted from that initial studying the last week because
4:29 pm
some areas have been inaccessible and rescue teams that difficulty getting there. there has been more rain in the days after that, but not as devastating of fall light to rain. and what it's done is that it's just hampered some of the recovery efforts in the days following the flooding. so we've not necessarily seen any more destruction or deaths from the rain in the most recent days, but essentially the city of the burn and the province of president are trying to recover from the initial flooding that took place on for me. that those who have been left home this. how are they coping with the situation in practical terms? oh many i having great difficulty in coping electricity and water supplies been cut off in many areas because the infrastructure was so badly damaged and the provincial government and said it's trying, it's best to fix what it can as quickly as possible. but it will take
4:30 pm
a lot of time and as you mentioned, they will cost hundreds of millions of dollars, especially a roads that have been affected. we saw huge collapse of roads and bridges in the area. and in some instances, cutting people off from moving from one area to another. but people have also returned to their homes, especially in informal settlements and townships where they're concerned about their positions being stolen, trying to retrieve whatever they can make do with whatever they can. and revolt as quickly as possible, but they've also complained that the government hasn't done enough to assist them and that they've been left on their own really relying on neighbors relying on each other to try and recover from the impact of that flooding. i mean, thank you indeed for that update today. it's time for world whether update now has car. hello there. it's an improving picture of eastern areas of south africa,
4:31 pm
but before we get there, let's have a look at the middle east. we've seen temperatures. yo, yo slightly across the levant while they are going to come down once again for cities like jerusalem, and a leper that thanks to unsettled weather, pulling east out of the mediterranean, bring some wet and a few wintery conditions to turkey, but it's mainly cloud cover that we are going to see in places like jerusalem, if we have a look at the 3 day, the temperature is going to come down, but they will still be sunshine. and it's a similar story for the gulf states. we have quite a bit of cloud pushing across saudi arabia, but south of that, a largely fine and dry pictures, temperature dipping down slightly in guitar and oman in the days to come. and we're going to see a dip down in temperatures for north western areas. thanks to wet and windy weather, plague in new iberia and peninsula, the dust is still going to be an issue. we could see some fierce sandstorms blowing across egypt and more central areas of north africa. but as we head down to the equitorial belt, we are seeing shop
4:32 pm
a showers effect places like the democratic republic of congo, the wet or whether it will pick up for northern areas of zimbabwe. but for the east of south africa, it's a largely clear picture. was still ahead on the al jazeera and praying for peace of a time of war. ukrainians celebrate easter conflict ranges on welcome to babylon, the how tourists are enjoying iraq's cultural treasures. once again, on jemma will help the sport, including how the buck stops, even when install ah, talk to al jazeera, we oh, so what is the time table in your mind? when do you think that you are, can be off of russian gas? we listen or, and i have seen and played football with these refugees. i look at them and they're happy. they're smiling. we meet with global news makers. i'm talk about the store restock matter on out. you see what's most important to me is talking to people
4:33 pm
understanding what they're going through here. it al jazeera, we believe everyone has a story worth hearing, a full of struggles full of pleasure, math and i would i, when i left with the same team. huh. to me, she may go and make them legal why they from india was only her, me an intimate look at life in cuba wardrobe and on the let, again, the say present with daniel said as a daughter without them on my leave, my cuba on al jazeera lou ah,
4:34 pm
here watching al jazeera, a reminder of our top stories this our russia has carried out missile attacks in parts of western and southern ukraine for rockets hitting the city of the vivid killing. 7 people and wounding 11 in sri lanka, new cabinet ministers, had been sworn in 2 weeks after the entire cabinet resigned. the com. protests against the government. mister my hinder budget accent, and his brother, president got a virus naming power. the number of palestinians have been injured during torn rates or is really forces in the occupies westbank. doesn't people have been arrested villages in penn from other let's return our top story and take a look at how the war in ukraine has changed. over the last few weeks. russia's initial invasion saw its troops and allied separate. his fighters come close to surrounding
4:35 pm
the capital keith, but in late march, moscow announced it planned to withdraw to the east of ukraine. well, this is a current situation areas the ukrainians claim to have retaken are shown in blue, or russian troops are concentrated in the east and south east of the country are now thought to be in control of all areas of the port city of mario poll, except for the master about steel plant, where that sir bring in samuel romani in oxford in the u. k. he's an associate fellow at the royal united services institute. thanks very much for joining us here on al jazeera. so how significant would it be if russia does indeed take control of marvel? well, i think the significance is largely political veronica, because of the fact that mary, a poll as capture, would lead to the genetic going to lance. people's republics being able to be annexed into russia because malleable, is an important city, and straddles between the 2. from military standpoint. there's also the lamb bridge in crimea, and the rest of don bass. so those are choosing africans us. i'm do you think it
4:36 pm
would mark the end of what little diplomatic progress had been made between russia and ukraine? well, i think it probably will. it seems as if the maximal us inside russia are gainey steam and gaining ground. we're hearing in the russian state media law, talk about economic, military and ideological mobilization that will likely coincide with the anniversary of the end of world war 2. i may, the 9th figures like chess, she has drams and kitty rob do members advisors close to the kremlin? are all admitting that talks are at a dead stop. and the conditions on both sides are reckon irreconcilable to russia's latest terms are for ukraine to withdraw completely from dance. no, hans recognized crimea as part of russia renounces you membership bed and nato membership bed, the membership is already going ahead. and did you militarize itself, which of course lens, he would never accept it, as you say, it is irreconcilable. how long might this all drag out than in your opinion, but
4:37 pm
a timely well, it really depends on the strengths, the ukrainian resistance and also depends on their ability to secure outside assistance. at this point, we're seeing a new arms package coming in from the united states worth around $800000000.00. that will give them an and not just anti tank weapons, but also howitzers and ammunition, which is necessary to sustain the war in the short term. as well as am i 17 helicopters, which will allow them to target russian convoys and stationary targets that are mobilizing around car heath. so if the weaponry keeps flowing to ukraine and it is augmented with as $300.00 dab air defense systems or potentially fighter jets from slovakia, poland. then you can you, resistance could last long time. i see this war dragging on for many months. if not longer. i, we've seen these missiles strikes on the western that city for the viv today. what do you make of that? so it was always a fallacy that russia was completely abandoning its ambitions elsewhere in the country and our focusing exclusively on eastern new grand. it's true,
4:38 pm
and the focus of russia's operations are in the don bass and other related areas like gab, marquee in odessa. but russia has said finished defenses, that, that doubt, command controls enters and key will continue to be targeted as will decision making centers and levine is the area where western arms entry ukraine as also got a lot of fuel depot. the supply energy supplies to the training, military and ammunitions, depos and weapons factories that they feel are worth targeting. and given the fact that they're, they target to indiscriminately, sometimes civilians and infrastructure is getting targeted. mcgross fire. okay, we'll leave it there, somehow romani in oxford. thank you for your insights today. thank you. well, the scale of destruction is becoming evident in some regions of ukraine following russia's withdrawal. wrestler said, are visited china, however, one of the cities hottest hit by russian forces and talk to people who at rebuilding their lives. this is all that remains of 80 year old hannah's house. she
